The long defunct MMO’s former owner, Jason Appleton, posted a lengthy mea culpa to the community over how everything went down and taking responsibility for it. “My failure with this game has plagued me now for years,” he wrote. “I truly had a dream and invited you all along for the ride with me, and I failed you.”

Appleton went beyond a mere apology, as he indicated that he was going to make some manner of financial amends with the backers of this project. He encouraged these players to sign up to a certain digital wallet, into which Appleton would deposit some cryptocurrency for them to sell when they so desired. Fans have until September 30th to link the wallet with their backer information.

“All I ask is that if things go very well for you, that you forgive my failure with Greed Monger,” he said.

While I’d pass on the recompense myself, as I understand the risks of Kickstarter and would never put in more than I was willing to lose. I do find it pretty cool that he’s going to this length to pay back those backers that want it.

If I was involved I’d look closely into what he’s doing before I’d choose if I was going to be taking part. He seems to be an actual Greed Monger and con man. I don’t know what he’s up to now, maybe he did have a real change of heart and grew a conscience, but “fool me once”… You know the rest. If it’s all on the level yes I’d 100% take back anything I could get – specifically in this case. I’m really only vaguely familiar with it and looking at the info I see posted from people involved though. As I don’t really have a stake in this I won’t be saying any more, it’s up to people who do to figure out what they want to be doing.
